"This ain't pressure, this is a game. Pressure is when a single mother has bills and they just dont add up. THATS pressure". This dude is the realest out.
“THIS AIN’T PRESSURE, THIS IS A GAME. PRESSURE IS WHEN A SINGLE MOTHER WHO HAS BILLS DUE OR SOMEONE WHO THE DOCTORS TELL THEY HAVE 5 DAYS TO LIVE” THAT’S PRESSURE! THIS IS JUST A GAME FOR FUN! THIS IS A REAL ONE☝🏾
I gained a whole new level of respect for Prime! A lesson was taught and that was, never assume that you know the story until the story teller tells it! I wish all the best for you coach!
When he talked about the issue of pressure and how we should look at pressure with people who are ill or in the hospital, 100%!!! This man has looked within himself, and that is clear. He isn't perfect, nor are any of us. I don't care if Colorado becomes a power house. What I do care about, and see happening, is Coach Prime bringing this level of self respect, respect for others, and just overall elevation to the young men, and overall community, at Colorado. Well done Coach.
This man speaks 🗣️ nothing but Wisdom! Wisdom is Wealth that he freely shares with Others to become free And that’s only if they want to be set free 🦅 Ase ✨
I love that he starts with the kids grades…. Most of them won’t make it to the nfl. It’s good that he makes sure they don’t just flunk out after football and leave the team and school with a degree.
You are a man that understands elevation there are not many men that understand business. God doesn't work in emotions and we shouldn't either. Thank you
Now this is what you call a dern press conference. I loved every moment of this. Everything he spoke was the truth and facts. This team is staying in my hotel (where I work) and they have been so wonderful. To see them and their fans in the hotel has been a beautiful thing to watch. It's my 2nd year seeing them here for the Celebration Bowl and it's a beautiful thing for their city and for our city (Atlanta) when they arrive. Thank you to both conferences for being in Downtown Atlanta.

@@tevin3619 yo that just mean you haven’t followed the entire story I’m not even takin shots at you everything he said I can name the situation he talking about
Excellent press conference. Nobody should have anything negative to say about his contributions or intentions. We all need to take a tip from him on change, winning and bigger vision. I pray #HBCU institutions can build from this!
Deion didn't say anything that the HBCU institutions or most SWAC and JSU fans didn't already know. They knew because they are SWAC. The SWAC has been around for 99 years and JSU for 145. People know their short comings. It's no different than him knowing he has been shacking in fornication for 10 years with a girlfriend, but has not corrected the problem even though it grieves God. So just like HBCUs haven't dealt with their issues, neither has he. He was tooting his own horn while in the spotlight like he always does. *"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."* *(Matthew 6: 3-4)* He was taking a parting shot at the JSU president because he wouldn't give him all the keys to the university.
basically he put JSU administration on blast without "throwing them under the bus"... well played Coach Prime... no one wants to talk about most HBCUs DYSFUNCTIONAL administrations... EVERYONE IS SILENT ON THAT PART.. but yea, lets clown on Coach Prime(a football coach).. so what will JSU do from here?? go back to "status-quo" or keep getting better
WOW that was a powerful interview. I guess he set the record straight for the haters and people bad mouthing his decision to leave JSU. It's always something behind the scenes it'll all come out when he leaves
Coach Prime is the man. This is why JSU is 12-0 and will finish this thing. I ain’t got a pops, a lot of us ain’t got a pops, we wish a man like Prime would be our mentor. Big love for Prime. #COWBOYS
@@dapittg Just because you have a child, that doesn’t make you a father. There’s quite a bit of a difference. Don’t disrespect present fathers by giving a sperm donors that same title.
I can listen to Coach speak the whole day, he gives a perspective every time which always rounds things up. He's gonna have a good season with the Buffaloes and it will get to great as they progress. Love Coach
This man is a National treasure , I’m so happy how he has improved these young men’s lives . In addition to being a great football coach , these young men will carry the values that coach prime have instilled in them for a lifetime. Mentorship is everything to every young man especially young black men 👑
He's a snake oil salesman..... He used black folks as a step stone..... You don't campaign on changing black situations then bolt to whites..... But in the words of Deion himself....." Must be the money" ... He's taking all his recruits and resources with him TO WHITES THAT ALREADY HAVE RESOURCES.......
@@diamonddee178 so sorry that you are so small minded to only look for the negative in everything in life maybe you didn’t recieve mentoring growing up , I hope you heal in the new year , “HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE” 🤦🏾
@@bigcoop3717 dude it was bigger than football , if you ever had the privilege of mentorship growing up you would understand what Deion is about and what he meant to those young men on the team , those young men outlook on life will be better going forward because of coach prime and his staff Think about how much better this world would be if all young men were properly mentored Think about it
Can't forget prime played the game, coaches the game, and even was apart of the media doing pre\post game interviews once upon a time. He truly knows every side of these press conferences
Amazing moment Coach Prime! Thanks for setting the record straight and thank you for your contribution. Congratulations on your success. I hope the people pay attention and correct the challenges of HBCUs.
Yes sir, he did "sell out" stadiums and if I heard correctly when he checked the books, since he's was supposed to get a part of the tickets sales, the money did not reflect the over 60,000 in attendance. It showed more like 20,000. I wonder who else would stay, after investing his own money, time, family, connections, and energy into a program, only to get taken advantage of(robbed, literally)? I'm certain from the feedback already. Coach Prime will "sell out" the big boy stadiums as well. I dont remember hearing anyone or group offering to pay him back with from success(millions made) or even getting a bonus extension or offer for a successful program 🤔 which most coaches get for winning. But I guess some people would prefer to continue to stay in an abusive situation rather than leave? 🤷🏿♂️
I see Athletic Director in Coach Primes future at some point. Being a baseball guy he was a hell of MLB Player. If the Braves hadn't lost to Toronto in the 92 World Series he would have won MVP batting over .600. Give him his flowers!!
It's time for everyone to stop focusing on Deion's elevation and congratulate T.C. for his elevation. Its T. C's. time. Coach Prime had to leave so that T. C. could receive his promotion and blessings at a higher level. God allows all things and He has allowed this transition.
23:25 When Coach Prime talks about the Speaker Series and Employment, I respect him for keeping those activities and opportunities in his plan. I understand his statement about low participation due to some of the powers that be and students. I work as a Career Coach at an HBCU and we faced those struggles. However, we stick with the mission and help whoever is willing to receive it and partner with those professionals and employers who are willing to assist in the best possible ways. Coach Prime is on point in various facets of the whole college experience for these student athletes.
Thanks Coach Sanders!Im so elated that you addressed "the underlined issues" of problem resolutions being addressed immediately, of not just Jackson State but HBCU's period Keeping the main thang THE Main Thang is a blueprint f/all HBCU's to follow. The Leaders must be held accountable and if they're unable or not leading in a positive progressive direction, get rid of them.
He can't have it both ways. The main HBCU that he put down also paved the way for his biggest coaching dream and payday. Also, the blueprint may have been laid, but it was also taken back. He is on record as saying he was the blueprint. So if he was the blueprint; he folded it up and took it to Boulder. It was his right to do so since he owned it.
Actually, underlined could be correct. It doesn't always mean to literally underline. It also means to stress, emphasize, bring out, articulate, etc. *Example:* The problem with HBCUs was underlined in his speech. In this case using the word underlined, past tense would apply. Pet peeve, do not type in *"ALL"* CAPS, especially when you're not *"ALL"* CORRECT. Take notes people. 👍 BLESSINGS! 😇
Deion is so refreshing! Maybe other mentors can start to understand what truly is important. His graduation rate and his care of the individual is infectious. I hope nothing but the best for this MAN! Such a smart dude.
Love how he addressed the idiots who didn’t want him to coach the celebration bowl but wanted shedeur to be the QB at the celebration bowl. Like he said you think I’m going to leave without my son😂. What kind of mess is that 😂
@@PA-zt6xu It's rumored that it was the President of the University that was telling Prime to kick rocks...😁 I guess he didn't want the immediate loss of the QB and game to fall back on him so quickly.
@@bjizzle6401 I wouldn't doubt ESPN, ESPN Sponsors, The SWAC Commissioner and the CB promotor and CB Sponsors all called the president and said don't you F up this money. Because no Deion and No Shedeur meant that barely anyone would have shown up to the game and the ratings would have been in the dumpster.
I love seeing Deion hit this level. He ain't changed. The Deion that played is the Deion that coaches. Only change is that he is better mentally and spiritually. And that is the gift of aging intelligently: Wisdom and grace.
@@tiffanyingram3444 why? I truly believe that he hated to go. But the president is the reason why coach Prime is leaving. If only he would have paid him the percentages from the home games and with that TV deal he had for the school. But the president didn't want that. The president believe that coach Prime was out doing him. Jealousy is a bad thing. So that's one of the real reasons he left.
I’m not going to lie. The level of consciousness he’s bringing is next level. I went to an HBCU, Norfolk State University, before going into the military. So, at first I wanted him to stay at JSU for the kids. As a Black man who didn’t grow up with my dad, I would’ve loved to have someone like Coach Prime pouring into my life. Fast forward, I moved to Colorado as a pastor and used to serve a 99 white congregation in the oldest church in Boulder. Then, at the beginning of this year, I felt God called me to leave the pastor role. But, I felt like I had to stay here. We have a very small Black community that has been trying to strengthen and support one another. A Black woman filmmaker even co-directed a documentary about being Black in Boulder. Thousands of people on the CU campus have been watching it and asking what it will take to live into the Shift we’re trying to make. I was asked to apply for a high-up diversity position at CU and I said no because I didn’t think there had been a significant enough disruption for the campus to hear what I had to say and not fire me. After listening to this, I think Prime is the disruption we’ve been praying for. So, now I’m psyched that he’s coming and bringing folks with him. BTW, I grew up part time in Pascagoula and Moss Point, MS and came to Colorado from Atlanta. So, I know what kind of shock they are about to feel. So pray for them.
People don't know and or understand the business and politics of big-time college football. Over the past three seasons, JSU became a football POWERHOUSE. Me from the outside looking in, I imagined he had major internal issues, and he just confirmed it. That is extremely difficult to manage while you're simultaneously trying to progress your program forward and uplight your people. Most people are not wired to handle the type of exposure Prime commands; they think they are until it arrives. As you heard, he did a lot - but wanted to do so much more. He is only the football coach, real change starts at the TOP, not the top of the football program. It won't matter what Prime says or does - if you are a negative person, not a forward thinker, and have crab mentality, you don't have the mental capacity to fully digest this interview. Most of what Prime said during his very insightful interview went in one ear, through that empty space in your head and out the other side. He was addressing adults that had legitimate questions and provided clarity to those that could remove emotions from this issue.
This Man Ain’t Nothing But The TRUTH!!! I Have A New Profound Respect ✊ For Coach Prime! Whew 🙌 A Man Of Integrity! A Visionary! A Very Strong 💪 Personality, Sense Of Humor And Presence!

*4 team playoff at The Celebration Bowl. Coach Prime is always forward thinking dropping jewels. I hope people listened, especially the haters. It takes a village.*
This man is a voice for more then just football players, he speaks and helps me in some of my decisions for life. If you LISTEN, you might just catch you some wisdom.
I'm surprised that a man who claims to be led by God does not understand the word of God. Why use a public press conference to boast about the things you have done for JSU. *"So that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."* *(Matthew 6:4)* What I saw was a man taking parting shots at the JSU president because he wouldn't give him all the keys to the university.

@@knowingmyself what do you tell these young men that go to programs in the coach ends up getting fired and a new coach come in? So what you saying is pointless because change happens in the real world you have just have to deal with the consequences of whatever that change is! You're reaching dog.
@@knowingmyself some following him to Colorado, a few going to the portal others staying it’s just the tough side of the business of college sports. All the coaches come with the selling points to parents and recruits to get them to play at their schools.
Seriously, we here in Boulder are so excited! The entire city is talking about Coach Prime. I been smilin since we found out! Go Buffs! #ShouldertoShoulder
Drop the MIC!! All questions asked and answered directly from Coach Prime's mouth!! Any other interpretations or commentary are FALSE AND UNSUBSTANTIATED!!
This was one of the best interviews....excellent job 👏...what I heard was they was NOT supportive of everything he was doing outside JSU...others would not let him do HIM...I did not know all thar he spoke about and can't wait to hear the tea....Great job Coach...you did great work at THEE JSU... 🥰🥰
Love everything about this video!!! Coach Prime is Coach Prime for a reason…I love how he not approaching all the negativity with negativity that he’s been getting from different angles..This man is solid and love that about him. His players shows the impact he has left on them. I believe if the whole team could follow him to Colorado they all would pack up and go…What’s understood doesn’t have to be explained! #CoachPrime
It was good to see him allow us a little into what he truly is about. He puts shine where shine needs to be. His honesty may rub some people the wrong way sometimes, but his heart is pure. Family and winning.
How do you not love and respect Prime time !! He is a great father figure for his community and his culture!!! And the man loves the LORD above ! Much love
Let ‘‘em know coach. This is one of those times where we have to say to the naysayers: “…oh ye of little faith..”. Why is what he said so hard to understand? He was a football coach who did a wonderful job but also highlighted some basic issues at JSU and other HBCUs that need to be addressed for these schools to continue to exist.
@Regina Blackman Lady you know what he meant Damn! I'm FAMU all day and anybody that attends or attended an HBCU knows the struggle and for some they're fighting everyday to stay afloat.
@@rblackman2 what lies? I'm talking about what's in coach Sanders contract. So u telling me that the home games wasn't over 20% capacity. I watch some of the home games, the stadium was full 60% capacity. Why JSU didn't pay Coach Sanders the money that was owe to him? The president stealing funds. The hate for Coach Sanders is sad. SMH
SWAC didn't do enough to be a change agent And keep Coach Prime to make changes across the board. We as black people are going to be left behind bc of US. We are sooooo sad !Where is the Shilo questions? I can't sit here all day. I hear frustration in his voice about working with low level people. HBCUs need to clean house across the board. When will we learn to unify and elevate and not tolerate foolishness and immorality? When? This makes alot of successful blacks leave all this behind. Me too with inner city schools. It is so sad and at times God is moving us. The stagnation of black community is ridiculous. I am 100 with you Deion.
@joeyjackson9199 You really didn't listen to his entire interview. It was a whole lot in it and more than basic leaving. He was about more than football.he said himself. Re- listen
@@joeyjackson9199 that's a Damn lie...he just sat there and explained that he couldn't do all he wanted to...WHY???....BECAUSE IT'S STARTS AT THE TOP! Across ALL HBCUS our houses have to be put in order! Period! People out here making excuses to go back to the "Status Quo".
@@ladyj5682 it was about prime. He have always wanted to coach at a p5 school, but they wouldn't hire him without any experience. Jackson state took a chance on him when nobody else would. Again it's not about him leaving it's how he left.
@@joeyjackson9199 he definitely left because he wanted to and that is his right to do so. Like he said he is a football coach and the school has to do good business.
I'm glad Deion called out the systemic dysfunction within the leadership at our institution(s) who lack vision that parallels the content of what he said in this press conference. For YEARS, the vision to elevate JSU beyond the standard of the SWAC has been just a dream for a lot of us. We've seen team after team out of conference play us, and eventually go on and elevate their schools to more competitive levels in sports and increased enrollment and revenue. Yet - we stay the same...It's apparent that he's frustrated with "small minded" thinking that has stagnated HBCU's for years. I'm a product of TheeILove and a serious professional... For example, all one has to do to is look at the lack of planning and coordination of something as simple as coordinating traffic patterns for the gameday experience (at the Vet). It's been that way for YEARS. But yet we boast about having the best avg attendance in FCS. While all the while giving our dedicated and loyal fan base subpar service to truly have a gameday experience. SO - for Deion to come in and work tirelessly to use his celebrity, vision, and talents to provide the roadmap in marketing and on the field to take our program to the top in three years is something we all should show our gratitude. I know he's thankful the opportunity. JSU gave him an opportunity to blow up - and he did. I wish the brother well.
I'm not done... If we (black Americans) cannot elevate our vision of what we'd like to see a people aspire to be, and inspire young minds at an institution of higher learning that there is another standard, a better standard, then. "Our institutions should demonstrate organization and excellence to the student body that you don't have to accept generalized/marginalized disenfranchisement that society expects you to accept just because of the color of your skin. You don't have to be the biggest school, but no matter what size your school, EVERYTHING should be done in excellence that you could do within the constraints of your financial abilities.
When my son decide what college he want to play for I’m making sure he’s going to the right college. I’m not about all this HBCU talk because if the so-called leaders have no loyalty, why should I sell my son short..
Him saying “you will find out more after we leave” is saying something bigger influenced his decision to leave. 15:24 His answer to why he left pretty much means the rumor of Jackson State stealing his bonus money for boosting ticket sales by 30% is true. And the rumors that Jackson State didn’t want to invest their own money into a lot of their resources is crazy. The school was traveling by bus to almost every game before Prime got there. They had trash locker rooms, no field to practice on. Did you know they said he had to pay for pretty much all the meals for his teams every game week? Crazy. He pretty much saying that it’s not going to get any better for those kids there anytime soon until HBCUs all come together and help each other. Since Prime is leaving all of his endorsements are too. He pretty much just finishing for the kids. He know a lot of them had fathers that left them. He don’t want them to have to go thru that again.
I’m not big on celebs n thangs but I was about 9/10 yrs old on my way to the restroom when I met Mr.sanders sitting at the end of a long hallway at the potters house in Dallas when he was a cowboy!! Even then I shook his security’s hand because respect was just that in my home,and I never forgot how cool he was and didn’t have a shady aura!!
Auburn, Florida State and every other power 5 schools that passed on Prime missed out - no - don't deserve the caliber of human he is. He had that room CAPTIVATED. He spoke like a fortune 500 executive, a coach, a preacher, and a father. He knows how to lead and is a proven winner. His skin is the ONLY thing that has kept him from greater coaching opportunities but as he says God knows his path. The hearts that were hardened led him to this path. Very proud of this guy and the legacy of excellence he is imprinting on his players.
Coach Prime could - and should - teach college level classes on how to speak to and answer questions from the media. As a player, I don't know how you would not want to go out on the field and do your very best for him. I'm wishing him big success at Colorado, although I have to reserve that for just one Saturday when my alma mater (another PAC-12 school) faces him.
Not once did he stumble over his words he 1000% stood on what he said and what he was going to do and at this point anyone talking down on deion for his decision is flat out misinformed and stupid.
He had time today😂 He is a master class on interviews
Lol 😂yes he did

It’s amazing with all that was said folks can find that one thing that they find offensive and run with it.
Coach Prime is the man. This is why JSU is 12-0 and will finish this thing. I ain’t got a pops, a lot of us ain’t got a pops, we wish a man like Prime would be our mentor. Big love for Prime. #COWBOYS

I can listen to Coach speak the whole day, he gives a perspective every time which always rounds things up. He's gonna have a good season with the Buffaloes and it will get to great as they progress. Love Coach
How can you NOT root for this man?? Tighten up yall

You're right. HE IS COMING
All the JSU fans are salty as hell
This man is a National treasure , I’m so happy how he has improved these young men’s lives . In addition to being a great football coach , these young men will carry the values that coach prime have instilled in them for a lifetime. Mentorship is everything to every young man especially young black men 👑
He's a snake oil salesman..... He used black folks as a step stone..... You don't campaign on changing black situations then bolt to whites..... But in the words of Deion himself....." Must be the money" ... He's taking all his recruits and resources with him TO WHITES THAT ALREADY HAVE RESOURCES.......
@@diamonddee178 so sorry that you are so small minded to only look for the negative in everything in life maybe you didn’t recieve mentoring growing up , I hope you heal in the new year , “HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE” 🤦🏾
@@ewilson1979 What does Jackson state games and Deion have in common? They both sold out😂😂😂
@@bigcoop3717 dude it was bigger than football , if you ever had the privilege of mentorship growing up you would understand what Deion is about and what he meant to those young men on the team , those young men outlook on life will be better going forward because of coach prime and his staff
Think about how much better this world would be if all young men were properly mentored
Think about it
Right on valid assessment
Can't forget prime played the game, coaches the game, and even was apart of the media doing pre\post game interviews once upon a time. He truly knows every side of these press conferences
Amazing moment Coach Prime! Thanks for setting the record straight and thank you for your contribution. Congratulations on your success. I hope the people pay attention and correct the challenges of HBCUs.
Yes sir, he did "sell out" stadiums and if I heard correctly when he checked the books, since he's was supposed to get a part of the tickets sales, the money did not reflect the over 60,000 in attendance. It showed more like 20,000. I wonder who else would stay, after investing his own money, time, family, connections, and energy into a program, only to get taken advantage of(robbed, literally)? I'm certain from the feedback already. Coach Prime will "sell out" the big boy stadiums as well. I dont remember hearing anyone or group offering to pay him back with from success(millions made) or even getting a bonus extension or offer for a successful program 🤔 which most coaches get for winning. But I guess some people would prefer to continue to stay in an abusive situation rather than leave? 🤷🏿♂️

I see Athletic Director in Coach Primes future at some point. Being a baseball guy he was a hell of MLB Player. If the Braves hadn't lost to Toronto in the 92 World Series he would have won MVP batting over .600. Give him his flowers!!
When a serious Black Man steps up with integrity and no foolishness, everybody must rejoice and support his mission!
He’s preaching on how you build a quality football program at an HBCU!🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
It's time for everyone to stop focusing on Deion's elevation and congratulate T.C. for his elevation. Its T. C's. time. Coach Prime had to leave so that T. C. could receive his promotion and blessings at a higher level. God allows all things and He has allowed this transition.
Well done Coach Prime & this is coming from a recent graduate of Grambling State University spring 2022!
Congratulations to you!
Congratulations on that!
Congratulations. if you don't mind me asking do you have any ideas for possibly giving back?
Congrats 🎉
Congratulations
Great representation of a BLACK MAN & a MAN OF GOD. No fear and no backing down. A CHANGE agent. Salute coach 🏁

Coach Prime set the haters straight. Love to see it. Good luck to JSU. Good luck to Coach Prime.
23:25 When Coach Prime talks about the Speaker Series and Employment, I respect him for keeping those activities and opportunities in his plan. I understand his statement about low participation due to some of the powers that be and students. I work as a Career Coach at an HBCU and we faced those struggles. However, we stick with the mission and help whoever is willing to receive it and partner with those professionals and employers who are willing to assist in the best possible ways. Coach Prime is on point in various facets of the whole college experience for these student athletes.
Thanks Coach Sanders!Im so elated that you addressed "the underlined issues" of problem resolutions being addressed immediately, of not just Jackson State but HBCU's period Keeping the main thang THE Main Thang is a blueprint f/all HBCU's to follow. The Leaders must be held accountable and if they're unable or not leading in a positive progressive direction, get rid of them.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 They won't clean out the Boule administration. They are the built in buffer class that keeps blacks in line.
👏
He can't have it both ways. The main HBCU that he put down also paved the way for his biggest coaching dream and payday. Also, the blueprint may have been laid, but it was also taken back. He is on record as saying he was the blueprint. So if he was the blueprint; he folded it up and took it to Boulder. It was his right to do so since he owned it.
UNDERLYING. Not UNDERLINED. Nor UNDERLINING. PET PEEVE. TAKE NOTES, PEOPLE: 📝☝🏽 UNDERLYING.
Actually, underlined could be correct. It doesn't always mean to literally underline. It also means to stress, emphasize, bring out, articulate, etc. *Example:* The problem with HBCUs was underlined in his speech. In this case using the word underlined, past tense would apply.
Pet peeve, do not type in *"ALL"* CAPS, especially when you're not *"ALL"* CORRECT. Take notes people. 👍 BLESSINGS! 😇
I truly believe Deion is gonna end up being a better coach than he was a player
That’s wild ain’t it!!
He already is🙏🏾
Wow imagine what his legacy will look like when it’s all said and done he’s just getting started
One of the greatest players ever!!! So your words are LOADED! 💪🏽🙏🏽
Man I love this dude, he faces his intruders and critics face to face!!! Raw an UNCUT!!
And doesnt without making himself look like a 🍑.
Deion is so refreshing! Maybe other mentors can start to understand what truly is important. His graduation rate and his care of the individual is infectious. I hope nothing but the best for this MAN! Such a smart dude.
I’m glad he mentioned Shilo’s future with Coach Prime. Some actually thought he would decide to stay behind instead of moving forward with his family.
Love how he addressed the idiots who didn’t want him to coach the celebration bowl but wanted shedeur to be the QB at the celebration bowl. Like he said you think I’m going to leave without my son😂. What kind of mess is that 😂
@@PA-zt6xu It's rumored that it was the President of the University that was telling Prime to kick rocks...😁 I guess he didn't want the immediate loss of the QB and game to fall back on him so quickly.
@@bjizzle6401 that's the problem? The president stealing the money.
Facts. Speaking on the decision of someone else's child is still #Crazy to me.
@@bjizzle6401 I wouldn't doubt ESPN, ESPN Sponsors, The SWAC Commissioner and the CB promotor and CB Sponsors all called the president and said don't you F up this money. Because no Deion and No Shedeur meant that barely anyone would have shown up to the game and the ratings would have been in the dumpster.
The energy he brings is unparalleled
the women he brings with him will be too
I love seeing Deion hit this level. He ain't changed. The Deion that played is the Deion that coaches. Only change is that he is better mentally and spiritually. And that is the gift of aging intelligently: Wisdom and grace.
Prime Time SHINES Again!!! Keep being GREAT COACH & BLESSINGS ONWARD!!! I’ll be rooting for you!!!
What Coach Prime has done for Jackson State , and HBCU football is quite simply put AMAZING, and he should be thanked , respected, and awarded !!!
Yeah but I wish he could press on!
@@tiffanyingram3444 why? I truly believe that he hated to go. But the president is the reason why coach Prime is leaving. If only he would have paid him the percentages from the home games and with that TV deal he had for the school. But the president didn't want that. The president believe that coach Prime was out doing him. Jealousy is a bad thing. So that's one of the real reasons he left.
Coach Prime on point with all his answers big will be at a game much respect
I’m not going to lie. The level of consciousness he’s bringing is next level. I went to an HBCU, Norfolk State University, before going into the military. So, at first I wanted him to stay at JSU for the kids. As a Black man who didn’t grow up with my dad, I would’ve loved to have someone like Coach Prime pouring into my life. Fast forward, I moved to Colorado as a pastor and used to serve a 99 white congregation in the oldest church in Boulder. Then, at the beginning of this year, I felt God called me to leave the pastor role. But, I felt like I had to stay here. We have a very small Black community that has been trying to strengthen and support one another. A Black woman filmmaker even co-directed a documentary about being Black in Boulder. Thousands of people on the CU campus have been watching it and asking what it will take to live into the Shift we’re trying to make. I was asked to apply for a high-up diversity position at CU and I said no because I didn’t think there had been a significant enough disruption for the campus to hear what I had to say and not fire me. After listening to this, I think Prime is the disruption we’ve been praying for. So, now I’m psyched that he’s coming and bringing folks with him. BTW, I grew up part time in Pascagoula and Moss Point, MS and came to Colorado from Atlanta. So, I know what kind of shock they are about to feel. So pray for them.
It's wild that he was the 21st coach of Jackson State University

Coach Prime set it straight‼️ #Integrity 💯🐐
People don't know and or understand the business and politics of big-time college football. Over the past three seasons, JSU became a football POWERHOUSE. Me from the outside looking in, I imagined he had major internal issues, and he just confirmed it. That is extremely difficult to manage while you're simultaneously trying to progress your program forward and uplight your people. Most people are not wired to handle the type of exposure Prime commands; they think they are until it arrives. As you heard, he did a lot - but wanted to do so much more. He is only the football coach, real change starts at the TOP, not the top of the football program. It won't matter what Prime says or does - if you are a negative person, not a forward thinker, and have crab mentality, you don't have the mental capacity to fully digest this interview. Most of what Prime said during his very insightful interview went in one ear, through that empty space in your head and out the other side. He was addressing adults that had legitimate questions and provided clarity to those that could remove emotions from this issue.
Exactly 💯

Hopefully everyone sees this interview in order to appreciate Deion and all of his efforts.
The crabs won’t
I'm surprised that a man who claims to be led by God does not understand the word of God. Why use a public press conference to boast about the things you have done for JSU.
*"So that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."* *(Matthew 6:4)* What I saw was a man taking parting shots at the JSU president because he wouldn't give him all the keys to the university.

basically he put JSU administration on blast without "throwing them under the bus"... well played Coach Prime... no one wants to talk about most HBCUs DYSFUNCTIONAL administrations... EVERYONE IS SILENT ON THAT PART.. but yea, lets clown on Coach Prime(a football coach).. so what will JSU do from here?? go back to "status-quo" or keep getting better

Stop assuming
This was one of the best interviews....excellent job 👏...what I heard was they was NOT supportive of everything he was doing outside JSU...others would not let him do HIM...I did not know all thar he spoke about and can't wait to hear the tea....Great job Coach...you did great work at THEE JSU... 🥰🥰
Love everything about this video!!! Coach Prime is Coach Prime for a reason…I love how he not approaching all the negativity with negativity that he’s been getting from different angles..This man is solid and love that about him.

This man is such a WINNER. Truly impressive ❤
It was good to see him allow us a little into what he truly is about. He puts shine where shine needs to be. His honesty may rub some people the wrong way sometimes, but his heart is pure. Family and winning.
Jsu, coach prime, and their media team set the standard. Now I’m seeing nfl teams taking the cameras in the locker room posting speeches etc. now
You serious? Cmon now. Hard Knocks ring a bell? Twitter pages for teams, documentaries. This was long before JSU
Jackson state gave him a opportunity and didn’t realize that they wasn’t ready for him
The only problem coach prime, is they hear u but they're not LISTENING!!!!

How do you not love and respect Prime time !! He is a great father figure for his community and his culture!!! And the man loves the LORD above ! Much love
This press conference just confirmed all the rumors, let Deion have endless success at Colorado his job at Jackson is complete ! 🙏🏾
Let ‘‘em know coach. This is one of those times where we have to say to the naysayers: “…oh ye of little faith..”. Why is what he said so hard to understand? He was a football coach who did a wonderful job but also highlighted some basic issues at JSU and other HBCUs that need to be addressed for these schools to continue to exist.
Exist????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 They have existed hunders of years before Prime and wilm.continue long after!

I watch some of the home games, the stadium was full 60% capacity. Why JSU didn't pay Coach Sanders the money that was owe to him? The president stealing funds. The hate for Coach Sanders is sad. SMH
SWAC didn't do enough to be a change agent And keep Coach Prime to make changes across the board. We as black people are going to be left behind bc of US. We are sooooo sad
!Where is the Shilo questions? I can't sit here all day. I hear frustration in his voice about working with low level people. HBCUs need to clean house across the board. When will we learn to unify and elevate and not tolerate foolishness and immorality? When? This makes alot of successful blacks leave all this behind. Me too with inner city schools. It is so sad and at times God is moving us. The stagnation of black community is ridiculous. I am 100 with you Deion.
Prime left because he wanted to leave. It had nothing to do with hocus.

@@ladyj5682 it was about prime. He have always wanted to coach at a p5 school, but they wouldn't hire him without any experience. Jackson state took a chance on him when nobody else would. Again it's not about him leaving it's how he left.
@@joeyjackson9199 he definitely left because he wanted to and that is his right to do so. Like he said he is a football coach and the school has to do good business.
I'm glad Deion called out the systemic dysfunction within the leadership at our institution(s) who lack vision that parallels the content of what he said in this press conference. For YEARS, the vision to elevate JSU beyond the standard of the SWAC has been just a dream for a lot of us. We've seen team after team out of conference play us, and eventually go on and elevate their schools to more competitive levels in sports and increased enrollment and revenue. Yet - we stay the same...It's apparent that he's frustrated with "small minded" thinking that has stagnated HBCU's for years. I'm a product of TheeILove and a serious professional... For example, all one has to do to is look at the lack of planning and coordination of something as simple as coordinating traffic patterns for the gameday experience (at the Vet). It's been that way for YEARS. But yet we boast about having the best avg attendance in FCS. While all the while giving our dedicated and loyal fan base subpar service to truly have a gameday experience.
SO - for Deion to come in and work tirelessly to use his celebrity, vision, and talents to provide the roadmap in marketing and on the field to take our program to the top in three years is something we all should show our gratitude. I know he's thankful the opportunity. JSU gave him an opportunity to blow up - and he did.
I wish the brother well.
I'm not done... If we (black Americans) cannot elevate our vision of what we'd like to see a people aspire to be, and inspire young minds at an institution of higher learning that there is another standard, a better standard, then. "Our institutions should demonstrate organization and excellence to the student body that you don't have to accept generalized/marginalized disenfranchisement that society expects you to accept just because of the color of your skin. You don't have to be the biggest school, but no matter what size your school, EVERYTHING should be done in excellence that you could do within the constraints of your financial abilities.
When my son decide what college he want to play for I’m making sure he’s going to the right college. I’m not about all this HBCU talk because if the so-called leaders have no loyalty, why should I sell my son short..
Him saying “you will find out more after we leave” is saying something bigger influenced his decision to leave. 15:24 His answer to why he left pretty much means the rumor of Jackson State stealing his bonus money for boosting ticket sales by 30% is true. And the rumors that Jackson State didn’t want to invest their own money into a lot of their resources is crazy. The school was traveling by bus to almost every game before Prime got there. They had trash locker rooms, no field to practice on. Did you know they said he had to pay for pretty much all the meals for his teams every game week? Crazy. He pretty much saying that it’s not going to get any better for those kids there anytime soon until HBCUs all come together and help each other. Since Prime is leaving all of his endorsements are too. He pretty much just finishing for the kids. He know a lot of them had fathers that left them. He don’t want them to have to go thru that again.
My people he has the right to move forward an better his career we always wanna keep each other down
Don’t generalize! Take the “we” out and put “some.”
The majority of us support him!
Man that was a real talk Coach but you can’t do it by yourself it’s a team work and it starts from the top President of JSU
Deion is cold as ice, true OG
This man is a football genius. I love his work ethic
I’m not big on celebs n thangs but I was about 9/10 yrs old on my way to the restroom when I met Mr.sanders sitting at the end of a long hallway at the potters house in Dallas when he was a cowboy!! Even then I shook his security’s hand because respect was just that in my home,and I never forgot how cool he was and didn’t have a shady aura!!

Auburn, Florida State and every other power 5 schools that passed on Prime missed out - no - don't deserve the caliber of human he is. He had that room CAPTIVATED. He spoke like a fortune 500 executive, a coach, a preacher, and a father. He knows how to lead and is a proven winner. His skin is the ONLY thing that has kept him from greater coaching opportunities but as he says God knows his path. The hearts that were hardened led him to this path. Very proud of this guy and the legacy of excellence he is imprinting on his players.

Coach Prime could - and should - teach college level classes on how to speak to and answer questions from the media. As a player, I don't know how you would not want to go out on the field and do your very best for him. I'm wishing him big success at Colorado, although I have to reserve that for just one Saturday when my alma mater (another PAC-12 school) faces him.
Well done coach when it's all said and done they going make a movie about what you done for jsu and the SWAC.
It will be well deserved......
I don't think prime wanted to leave jsu, possibly forced to. 🤔
Not once did he stumble over his words he 1000% stood on what he said and what he was going to do and at this point anyone talking down on deion for his decision is flat out misinformed and stupid.
